Illipe Butter

8/29/2017

2 Comments

 
Illipe butter is the fat obtained from the nuts of Shorea Stenoptera, a wild crop in the jungle of South East Asia. Regarded by some as the richest of all butters, it reinforces the skin lipidic barrier and is known for long-lasting moisturizing and softening properties for hair and skin.

It is a very hard butter and usually comes in a big chunk. It's so hard, it's impossible to even use a hammer to smash it into pieces. I have to melt it down and pour it out into a thin sheet so it can harden and then be cut into small pieces. Doing this allows me to accurately measure out how much I need before melting it down again so I can add it to my products.
​
I use Illipe Butter in all of my soaps and lotions to make them very nourishing to the skin without leaving a greasy feeling.

Great idea Emm!! I have some beeswax here that I can barely cut through. I'll have to do this!

I was spending so much time trying to saw pieces off and then one day when I was melting other butters down, it dawned on my to do this! It made my life so much easier.
Just be sure to use a double boiler or set a pot in another pot of water just so all the heat isn't on the bottom. You don't want to burn your beeswax.
